OTOH, if you are McIntosh Laboratory, "Made in Binghamton, New York, USA" is an important part of the appeal, and while it's ownership has changed more than once, overseas owners have never dared to offshore the bulk of the manufacturing.
Their products contain a fuktonne of imported components. They make their own transformers, but bring in vacuum tubes from one or more of the few countries where they are still manufactured. They do use quite a bit more domestically made stuff to build their products than the usual "Assembled in USA" operation does, but there is still plenty of "foreign" content there because that's literally unavoidable -- e.g. try to find an American-made discrete semiconductor or coupling capacitor.
